Georg Brandes (1842-1927) er mest kendt for sit storværk "Hovedstrømninger i det 19de Aarhundredes Litteratur" (udg. i seks bind 1872-1890), hvori han talte den politiske friheds sag og gav en opsang til dansk litteratur, som dyrkede gamle romantiske idealer og ikke lukkede op for nye europæiske strømninger.Georg Brandes havde også stærke æstetiske sider. De er på forskellig måde hovedemnet i de artikler, Pil Dahlerup i årenes løb har skrevet om ham, og som udgives samlet i denne antologi. Georg Brandes' sprog var noget særligt.

Antologien indeholder desuden artikler om Georg Brandes' syn på naturalisme, impressionisme, fædrelandskærlighed og på den katolske kirke. Nogle kapitler fra "Det moderne gennembruds kvinder" (1983) er genoptrykt under overskriften "Fader, Don Juan og Tristan". Blandt de nyere bidrag er "Festtale for Georg Brandes" i anledning af 150-året for Indledningsforelæsningen til "Hovedstrømninger" (3. nov. 1871) og "Georg Brandes' aske", som handler om en oplevelse i Brandes-Arkivet på Det Kongelige Bibliotek.Pil Dahlerup (f. 1939), dr.phil., litteraturhistoriker; 1969-2009 ansat ved Nordisk Filologi, Københavns Universitet, fra 1989 som docent.
